Isn't this just Netanyahu doing a favour for Trump? As soon as the latter is inaugurated, this will be announced as a done deal (for now).

This is a nasty little account which popped up late last year. It appears to be heavily promoted by the platform's algo. The BBC's Marianna Spring mentions them in a recent article "They refused to share their identity with me when we corresponded, but claim to be "Gen Z" and "not Russian"."
